Rag Doll Thank You Set

I have another project to share today using the new bow trio dies from Clear and Simple Stamps. This time I used both sizes of the bow dies along with one of CSS’s signature Rag Dolls to create a thank you gift ensemble.

The card features Rag Doll Willa: Thank as my focal image. I colored Willa with Copic markers and layered her over a rosy pink dotted paper panel. A pretty pearl flourish accents the image on one side. One of the die cut mini bows is set at the other side of the image. The bow was made from CSS’s Paint the Town Pink cardstock, stamped with one of the circle patterns from the Circles Plus set so it would coordinate with the circle pattern on the rose colored patterned paper.

To go with the card, I made a gift card holder with the Mini Tri-fold 2 die. I cut the tri-fold base from light pink cardstock and assembled it, then created a coordinating belly band as a closure. The band is made from a pair of layered cardstock strips and dressed up with a dotted bow die cut with one of the dies from the Bow Trio: Large die set. The pretty matching bow embellishments really tie the two different pieces of the ensemble together.
